Interesting T9 hand?

Villain here is 46/10/2 after only 50 hands.

I think the preflop call is a bit loose, but I am trying to loosen up in the blinds, so is this an ok time to do so?

Is everything else standard?

i think this is the type of player that the clarkmeister doesn't apply to. the river check/call seems fine here.

preflop is a call i would like to make, it's probably wrong but if so i'll let someone else tell you that.

all the other players are unknown? obviously the flop c/r is fine but betting might be better.

i like the preflop call given the hand is three way. flop and turn look good. river i would probably bet/fold.

Against an agro opponent I think that would be awful. First of all, I would like to induce from this guy. More importantly, using a bet/fold strategy opens us up to losing the whole pot when we are ahead. He can easily bluff raise this river.

i'm just wondering what he would call the turn with. i suppose it all boils down to if you think he will bet with more hands than he would call here.

You also have to factor in that if I bet, I have to call a raise, yet am often behind.

I don't think you have to call a raise on the river.
I think bet/fold the river is justified. Is he really going to raise without a spade?

I think the pre-flop call is standard.

you're often behind on the turn? or the river?

I dunno man, he'd have to be a psycho to raise this river without the flush.

a good player would be very smart to raise this river with a pair that he was planning to call with. seriously, if you are ever in a position where you have AA on this board with no flush and want to call, id recommend you seriously consider raising instead if you are playing against a reasonable player.
